We recently returned from our fourth visit to Corsica, and since our second visit where we first found this place, we've had to stay here every time we visit the island. We initially booked a 2-night stay, but ended up staying for 5 nights because we love it so much. The rooms are so beautifully and tastefully decorated, and Maud is just the perfect host, always charming, helpful and genuinely welcoming. The location right in the old center of Algajola is charming and quiet, moved back from the main road as the town center is, but is at the same time perfectly convenient for trips southwest (to Calvi and the beautiful peninsula of La Revellata) or northeast (to L'ïle Rousse and the beautiful Ostriconi beach), or just to hand on the wonderful sand beach of Algajola 5 min walk from the hotel or the more remote Punta Spanu a few kilometers west of Algajola (be aware of the very poor quality of the road). Also worth mentioning is the wonderful breakfast on the rooftop terrace and if you can afford the extra price, the huge room 3 will offer you a beautiful view towards the castellu as well as a bathroom so big that it could house a normal hotel room in itself.

Our favorite place to stay in Corsica

Came here for lunch (so can't comment on rooms). We ate outside in a pretty square by the chateau - there were tables in shade and in sun. We needed a fairly swift meal as we had to catch the little train, which runs not very frequently along the coast between Calvi and L'Ile Rousse. The very friendly waitress assured us we could have the three course Menu Corse and still make the train. The food was very good - especially the soupe de poisson - and the menu was excellent value at E27 each.

Delicious lunch in pretty setting

I have the magret de canard, delicious and perfectly cooked. The house rose was better than best bottle of a nearby restaurant! The Fiadone-lemon cheesecake with shortbread biscuit was  the best I have ever tasted! The restaurant itself is in a small idyllic square.Both the waiters were polite, nice and humourous, in a reserved way...a great meal in a fabulous location. Highly recommend.

Great food,wine and service

We spent a fantastic week at U Castellu and cannot recommend it enough! The rooms are spacious, well appointed, scrupulously clean and with beautiful furniture and comfortable beds. The common areas (a stylish living room, a breakfast room opening on a terrace) are welcoming. Breakfast on the terrace is a delight! Maud is a lovely hostess, personable, attentive, full of advice. 

V quiet at night as there is no through traffic.

The beach in Algajola itself is fantastic, and it's an excellent base to explore this amazing region of Corsica and its many attractions.

All in all a brilliant holiday!

Fantastic stay at U Castellu

I don't write many reviews but I wanted to write something as an attempt to compensate the inn keeper. In late October I arrived in the village as a solo traveller. I was looking for a simple place to spend a night or two by the sea. I stayed for a week. I was lucky to have beautiful weather and though much of the village was closed the sea, the sky, the beach and the surrounding hills remain open for business. The room I stayed in was clean with a large bedroom. The bed was most comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace is the property's best feature. I found myself there often throughout the day and enjoyed it most at sunset. The village itself is small but nearly 100% sufficient. NOTE: no ATM so bring plenty of cash or drive to nearby town

The owner is very good. She runs the business solo and does a great job. I don't know a word that describes why some homes are nicer than others. I think it has to do with the people. This place feels good. 

I also want to note the value of luxury. I stayed at several 4/5 star properties while visiting Corsica. I think U Castellu for the money is as luxurious as any if you value a good nights sleep, a beautiful view and the tranquility of a seaside village. 

Please consider.

Simple Luxuries

Pros: Affordable, great location, host is nice
Cons: Breakfast could be more robust, awkward set-up (rooms are on the second and third floors); very steep steps make it difficult to carry luggage up (not recommended for elderly or disabled travelers); parking can be an issue; not very trendy or romantic

There are very few options for accommodation in Algojola. This appears to be the only B&B guesthouse, and there are 4 or 5 hotels. The town seems to attract both locals and tourists, but there are not many unique/luxury places to stay.
